Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP arrives at Mugello for the Italian Grand Prix, one of the most iconic events of the MotoGP World Championship. Part of the calendar since 1976 and a permanent venue since 1991, the Tuscan circuit is renowned for its unique atmosphere, breathtaking scenery and the passion of the fans who fill the hills surrounding the track throughout the entire weekend.

The 5.245 km layout is considered one of the most spectacular and technically demanding circuits in MotoGP, combining high-speed direction changes, flowing corners and one of the longest straights in world championship racing, where MotoGP bikes can exceed 360 km/h. Corners such as Arrabbiata 1 and 2 have become legendary for both riders and fans.

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP heads into the weekend encouraged by the progress shown in recent races and tests, particularly regarding chassis behaviour and corner speed. At the same time, the team is fully aware that Mugello’s ultra-fast nature and long straight are likely to favour some of the more powerful bikes on the grid, making this another important benchmark in the development process.

For many members of the team, the Mugello round carries special meaning, with the vast majority of the team personnel being Italian and deeply connected to the passion and atmosphere that make this event so unique. The upcoming races are also expected to feature layouts better suited to the Yamaha’s handling characteristics, giving further motivation ahead of an important phase of the season.

Obviously this is a very important race for me personally because it really feels like coming home. I know Mugello extremely well and we are aware that, on paper, it is not the easiest track for us because of the very long straight and the engine performance required there.

At the same time, we are very happy with the progress we are making in terms of chassis and electronics. We have taken some important steps forward and I believe there will be sections of the circuit where we can defend ourselves well and continue showing the improvements we have seen over the last few races.

I hope to keep seeing the positive progression we have started recently. We will do our maximum, gather more important data and continue developing because there are tracks coming up that should suit our package better and where we may be able to achieve even stronger results.

For me this is a completely new challenge because it will be my first time riding a 1000cc bike at Mugello. The last time I raced here was twelve years ago in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, so in many ways it almost feels like discovering the track again from the beginning.

Back then I was not really comfortable with the smaller bike and with such a fast circuit, but now it is different with a MotoGP machine. Riding a MotoGP bike here is something special and I’m very happy and excited for the experience.

We will see how the weekend develops. I know Mugello is a very demanding track and another important learning step for me, but as always I will try to do my best and continue improving session after session.

I’m looking forward to starting another back-to-back race sequence and, most importantly, kicking it off in Italy. For many people inside the team this is a very special Grand Prix and one everyone looks forward to throughout the season.

We come into the weekend after what I believe was a positive test in Barcelona. We know Mugello will expose some of our current weaknesses, especially with such a long straight, but at the same time we made some encouraging progress there, particularly with the turning characteristics of the bike.

Hopefully those improvements can help us across the rest of the lap and allow us to keep building momentum. It’s always fantastic racing in front of the Italian fans and I’m excited to get the weekend started.
